Any Additional Procedure Requested:

As with any anesthetic or surgical procedure, there are risks that cannot be predicted or eliminated. For the protection of your pet, we strongly recommend doing a pre-anesthetic blood profile. This will ensure that your pet is a lower-risk candidate during the anesthesia by ruling out many pre-existing internal problems; these conditions may be evident physically but could possibly lead to complications. We will place an intravenous catheter and administer pain control medications to your pet as deemed fit, according to your pet's specific needs.

Dental disease can be so extensive that it may require extractions. Extractions range from $16-120/tooth. Extraction is the last resort for a very diseased tooth. This addresses the tooth disease & prevents this source of infection from spreading elsewhere in the body.

Please check the appropriate response below:

I approve of ANY extractions which the veterinarian feels necessary ($15-120/tooth). The exact number of extractions cannot be predicted until after the teeth have been cleaned and gums examined. I am ware that may mean many teeth may have to be extracted but that will assure the best possible health for my pet. Extractions usually increase the total time of the anesthesia & dental procedure. Painful extraction may warrant local dental block ($30 per block). There is an additional anesthesia charge of $64 per 15 minutes, if routine dental exceeds 45 minutes in Dogs and 30 minutes for Cats.

Yes

No

I approve of gingivectomy if the veterinarian feels removal of a portion of loose gums will help in saving the inflamed tooth/teeth. Additional cost of $65/10 minutes of surgical time.

Yes

No

Please DO NOT write "call first," as the decision to extract teeth or do a gingivectomy cannot be made until your pet is under anesthesia and the cleaning has already been done. We do not want to keep your pet under anesthesia any longer then absolutely necessary. Of course we will only do a procedure if it is medically necessary and in the best interest of the patient.

Use best judgment but only spend up to an additional amount of $300, $400, $500, Other/No limit for any additional necessary dental treatment.
